Tuberculosis is becoming a global issue with raising occurrences; particularly in developing countries, the situation is alarming. Besides environmental factors, host genetic factors are vital in disease development. A demographical and genotypic analysis in relation to tuberculosis commencement is conducted in a Pakistani population, and genotypic frequency of EBI3 (rs4740) was analyzed. Allelic frequencies of EBI3 (rs4740) were significantly associated with disease susceptibility in the reviewed population. Analysis for EBI3 (rs4740) genotyping showed a significant association of "GG" with reduced risk for disease. Moreover, females and older age found to be more perilous to develop TB while smoking and a family history of TB are additional risk factors for disease development. Further work with a larger population is necessary to identify the true causative variants of tuberculosis.

Association Between Interleukin 35 Gene Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and the Uveitis Immune Status in a Chinese Han Population.

Autoimmune uveitis is characterized by immune disorders of the eyes and the whole body and is often recurrent in young adults, but its pathogenesis is still unclear. IL-35 is an essential regulatory factor in many autoimmune diseases, which is produced by Breg cells and can induce Breg cells to regulate the immune response. The relationship between the expression and gene polymorphism of IL-35 and the immune status of patients with autoimmune uveitis has not been reported.

This study aimed to investigate the association between serum levels and polymorphic variants of IL-35 with susceptibility, clinical features, and disease severity in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.This case-control study recruited 186 MS patients and 195 sex- and age-matched healthy controls. Serum levels and polymorphic variants of IL-35 were determined by ELISA and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)-PCR or high resolution melting (HRM) analysis methods, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between IL-35 gene polymorphisms and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in a large Han population in China.
- The researchers used logistic regression and multifactor dimensionality reduction to analyze how specific gene variants (SNPs) interact with environmental factors such as smoking.
- Findings showed that the C allele of rs428253 and the G allele of rs2243115 are associated with a higher risk of CHD, particularly in smokers, highlighting the influence of both genetics and lifestyle on disease susceptibility.

Obesity, a chronic low-grade inflammation metabolic abnormality, is related to high proinflammatory cytokines concentrations. Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 3 (EBI3) encodes for the EBI3 beta subunit that constitutes interleukin (IL) 27 and 35. Our objective was to assess the association of three EBI3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the presence of central obesity in a group of Mexican subjects.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 490 SLE patients and 489 healthy controls were examined for seven specific SNPs of the IL-35 encoding gene to see if there were links to SLE susceptibility and symptoms.
- * Findings revealed that the rs4740 polymorphism is significantly linked to renal and hematological disorders in SLE patients, but no overall associations between the SNPs and SLE risk or plasma IL-35 levels were found.
